Wintery Tree Tops Sending Thanks

It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends challenge.  This is the last of the CASE the Catalog challenges.  I have enjoyed these challenges.  The challenges have made me look a little closer at the samples in the catalog and there's a lot to look at.  This week the challenge is to CASE the card on page 103.

Isn't this card adorable?  I don't think I properly appreciated it until now.  I love the layout so I decided that is what I would CASE.

• Real Red CS layer 3-3/4" x 5"
• Stamp the swag from the Wintery Tree Tops stamp set (coming in the September-Dec mini catalog) withDie cute  Whisper White ink on the Real Red layer
